Charlemont September Sales Range From $39,000 to $394,250

CHARLEMONT -- Ten properties recorded deed transfers in Charlemont between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but pricing information has reached the Franklin County Registry of Deeds for only three of them so far, leaving most of the month's activity without a confirmed sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 10 recorded transfers, three carry a sale price so far: $39,000, $140,000 and $394,250. That puts the full price range at $39,000 to $394,250 with a median of $140,000. The remaining seven sales show price not yet available, which is typical for deed data and usually means the figure has not yet posted to the registry rather than any withholding by the parties involved. With only three of 10 transfers priced, the dataset is too thin to characterize the month as active or quiet based on price alone; the raw count of 10 recordings is the clearest available measure of this period's volume.

TOP SALES

31 West Oxbow Road sold for $394,250 on Sept. 9, the highest price recorded this period. The sellers were listed as Chad Trollinger and John Trollinger; the buyers were listed as HMA Mortgage and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. A second recording at the same address, listed as 31 W Oxbow Rd, was also dated Sept. 9 with the same sellers but no price yet available.

20 North River Road sold for $140,000 on Sept. 9. The sellers were listed as Ellen B. Shaw and Jeffrey H. Shaw; the buyer was listed as Greenfield Cooperative Bank.

178 Legate Hill Road sold for $39,000 on Sept. 14, the lowest price recorded this period. The sellers were listed as Robert P. DiNicolantonio and Jean M. DiNicolantonio; the buyers were listed as Franklin First and Greylock FCU.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Legate Hill Road had two recorded transfers this period: 520 Legate Hill Road (price not yet available, sold Sept. 17, seller Patrick James Flathers) and 178 Legate Hill Road ($39,000, sold Sept. 14). West Oxbow Road also had two recordings tied to the same address and the same sellers, Chad and John Trollinger, both dated Sept. 9. The remaining six transfers were spread across individual streets: Schaefer Way, Mohawk Trail, East Hawley Road, North River Road, South River Road, and an unspecified Charlemont address. Among the three sales with confirmed prices, one fell under $100,000 ($39,000), one fell in the $100,000-to-$500,000 range at $140,000, and one fell in that same range at the higher end, $394,250. No sale this period exceeded $500,000.

MARKET NOTES

Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records for any of these transfers. All three sales with confirmed prices list a bank, credit union or mortgage-related entity as the buyer: Franklin First and Greylock FCU at 178 Legate Hill Road, Greenfield Cooperative Bank at 20 North River Road, and HMA Mortgage and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. at 31 West Oxbow Road. Two of the 10 recorded transfers involved a trust or estate as the seller: 62 Schaefer Way, where the seller was listed as the Lynden Lyman Revocable Trust, and 2055 Mohawk Trail, where the seller was listed as the Estate of Roger A. King. The data does not indicate the reason for either transfer. Seven of the 10 recordings currently show no sale price, meaning the $39,000-to-$394,250 range and $140,000 median reflect only the three transfers priced so far and may not represent the full month once remaining figures post to the registry.
